sorry about my ignorance, but what would happens if the protocol itself would ask the miners to go for all the transactions no matter the fee size just following a timestamp that would determined that for certain transaction to be processed first all transactions that were made before must be confirmed?
I understand that there has to be a reward for mining in order to keep the thing going, but it seems that we are losing the main point here.
the value should have to be in the usage of the coin rather than being in the speculative store of value, and theres no value in an usage that its being controlled by someone that says if a transaction is important or not by a fee.
I imagine miners would create a new fork restoring the actual functioning, and all of them would move to the new fork, rendering the actual bitcoin unusable at all.
But I agree with you, something has to be done, the actual system is not fair, prevents low transactions and only do harm to the bitcoin.
